Emmerdale fans slam Faith Dingle's 'miraculous' recovery after she was on 'brink of death'

Emmerdale fans have slammed Faith Dingle's "miraculous" recovery after she collapsed at her own party and was rushed to hospital.

Many viewers are dreading the day actress Sally Dexter will leave the show since her character was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. During yesterday's episode Faith was hospitalised after fainting and her heartbroken family was told the cancer had spread to her brain.

Tonight's episode saw the mum-of-two regain consciousness and being discharged from hospital with doctors telling Faith her days were numbered. Viewers found her quick recovery hard to believe and took to social media to complain.

Aj snoop wrote on Twitter: "Another miraculous recovery. Faith brought back from the brink of death by the angel staff at Our Lady of Hotten Memorial Hospital. Praise be!"

Chris P said: "That's one hell of a hospital. Maybe send the staff of the other hospitals there to get some tips."

Lee Doherty commented: "10/20 years ago, anything associated with illness would be 'affecting', but Faith's cancer plot has taken a serious subject & soured into a routine, tacky affair angle. It's no wonder Emmerdale is in so much trouble ruining what were their most likable & strongest characters!"

And @CxxPIPxx wrote: "Faith flipped back into the world of lucidity quick."

However, many viewers praised Sally Dexter for her "amazing" acting and said they were sad to see her go.

Ryan Glendenning said: "I'll physically cry when Faith dies and I don't cry at anything. I'm not ready."

Jordan Phelps commented: "So not ready too loose Faith."

Rachel praised: "Faith is brilliant, one minute we are crying and the next we are laughing. Thank u."

And Kay Stride wrote: "Really going to miss this character.. Sally Dexter… what a fantastic actress."
